The problem it solves

Sending the same WhatsApp update to a long list of contacts one at a time is slow and easy to lose track of. You end up unsure who's already been messaged and who hasn't.

Who it fits

Small businesses, freelancers, or support teams messaging a list of contacts over WhatsApp.

How it works

  1. The automation checks your Google Sheet on a schedule
  2. It finds every contact marked as pending
  3. It sends each one a WhatsApp message with their details filled in
  4. It updates the sheet to mark each contact as sent
What you get

Messages sent without copying each contact by hand

You get every pending contact on your list messaged on WhatsApp automatically, with your sheet updated to show it's done.

What you get

An updated Google Sheet showing exactly who has been messaged.

What you need

A Google Workspace account and a WhatsApp messaging API subscription.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
